Connect to Cursor
In this guide, learn how to connect your MCP toolbox to Cursor.
Prerequisites
- Cursor account
To connect your MCP toolbox to Cursor:
Open the desktop version of Cursor.
On the upper right-hand side, click the settings icon to open the Cursor Settings dialog.
In the left sidebar, click Tools & Integrations (or Tools, if you're on the Free Plan).
Under MCP Tools, click Add Custom MCP to open the editor for the mcp.json file.
In the editor, add the configuration below:
{
"mcpServers": {
"make": {
"url": "<MCP TOOLBOX URL>",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer <TOOLBOX_KEY>"
}
}
}Optionally, use an env variable when adding the toolbox key for additional security. To learn more, see Cursor's MCP documentation.
To complete the configuration, replace the placeholders with your actual values:
- MCP TOOLBOX URL: The URL generated when you created the MCP toolbox.
- TOOLBOX KEY: The key generated for the MCP toolbox.
Configuration example:
{
"mcpServers": {
"make": {
"url": "https://eu2.make.com/mcp/server/•••••••••••••",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer •••••••••••••"
}
}
}You've now connected your MCP toolbox to Cursor.
Troubleshooting: If an OAuth consent screen appears when you're trying to connect, your MCP toolbox URL or key is likely incorrect. For guidance, see Configure your URL.
MCP toolbox timeout: Your MCP toolbox scenarios must finish running within 40 seconds. If a scenario runs longer, the connection times out and no outputs return to the client.
